A few days ago I posted an SP cambelt setting kit in the sale board.
Although I don't own an Omega anymore, I've had a change of heart and have decided to keep the timing tools.
Although I'm not really servicing Omegas as a part time business anymore, I dare say there will be occasions when local (or not so local) members encounter difficulties, and I will want to lend a hand. it will also be useful for cambelt meets, which I still intent to play an active part in (no costs) - and a useful resource to lend to forum members who decide to DIY.
Although no current plans - you never know, I might invest in another Omega V6 sometime...
I'd like to apologise to anyone who expressed an interest, but would prefer to be upfront with the reason :y

Despite taking all measures to wrap up warm, I have been having a problem with my fingers and toes going completely dead half way through doing a job, and it makes it extremely difficult and uncomfortable :(
I've not had a complaint or an issue, I just reached a point where I was dreading opening a bonnet, rather than loving it - and that was enough to make the call, for me :'(
I obviously have some new commitments, having passed out to do actuve duty in my new role - and although this would slow the mechanics work down, it wouldn't stop it completely.
I may resume a limited service in the summer months - but as it stands at the moment, it's not realistic, and I'd rather be upfront than commit to things I may not be able to honour...

It will probably not be permanent, I am just having some real seasonal depression re. working on cars, it's crap at this time of year and given other time constraints, it's only fair that I am realistic.
Come the summer, and T shirt weather, I will probably do some limited jobs again :y

No need to apologise, the weather recently has been horrible, I am waiting until it is warmer to do the wishbones.
Over Christmas I had to replace the front springs, I went for the damp warm day and finished just as the rain started.
Did the idler just before the MOT and nothing since then - simply too cold.
I think as the weather gets better you will be raring to get going again.
I am totally depressed as well - simply time of year - not much light, cold, after Christmas, and lots of bills.
We all cheer up as the weather improves

No problems with any of that James... Sounds like you've made a sensible, informed decision :y :y :y

I've been putting off doing jobs recently due to the cold... and I've got a garage to do them in.

Been eyeing an infrared patio heater lately, looks like the cold is going to keep on a bit. No good with snow on the ground mind.

Picked up a cheap and nasty halogen heater from Blackbushe market for 5 quid IIRC. Does the job when working on cars.

The way to overcome your depression with opening bonnet is to get your arse over here, I'm sure I could find plenty of jobs for you to do in the snow, whilst I drink tea and take the piss ;D
I agree, its a summer job. I was out the other night purely Tech2ing, and I froze me danglies off.

well its T shirt weather here at the moment!!! :y
